Chapter 98 Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite
In Hecate's throne room, her evil minions wait for her orders, but Sinistar is trying to figure out what has happened to her. She asks without really expecting an immediate answer.
Sinistar-What happened to me?
Hecate-All you need to know is you are given a second chance in this plane of life to serve me.
Sinistar-Serve you?
She stands back up and asks another question.
Sinistar-Who are you?
She hears the others in the background become astonished at such a question.
General Hypnotilus-What?!
General Tarantulax-She asks such a question!
General Harmondo-What ignorance!
Metallix-How dare she!
General Valkor-Blithering fool!
General Jin-She doesn't know of our goddess Hecate!
Scorpitar-How is that even possible?
General Sykalor-She is unbelievably clueless!
General Crimson-It is treasonous!
General Skelexis-Such a treasonous act is punishable by a fate worse than death!
Mohan-Than a thousand deaths!
General Keltor-She deserves to be punished for her ignorance!
Bansheeva-Yes of course.
Queen Hornetzza-Indeed.. Oh she is doomed!
Gorgonite-She is doomed several times over!
General Spikra-What a shame, oh wait no its not!
Pinzapple-What fun to witness such a fate!
Doomgaze-Hahahahaha let the fun begin!
Hecate chuckles then says.
Hecate-Calm down everyone, there is no need to be riled up right now.
She then looks directly at Sinistar and says.
Hecate-Really, all of these millennia that I have lived I have never been in the habit of repeating myself, be that as it may of course I am quite sure that I have done such a thing one time or another.
Sinistar-I just am confused.
Hecate makes a fist with her right hand and suddenly a dark force grasps Sinistar's black heart and starts to squeeze it immensely, all the other evil beings gasp in fear and step away from Sinistar. She falls on her knees in great discomforting pain as she hears Hecate say.
Hecate-So sad you have forgotten what I told you just a few moments ago Sinistar, and with such a memory loss as incredible as yours I simply have no more need for you, so back to the darkness you go!
Sinistar attempts to speak but the force squeezing her heart slightly inhibits her way of speaking, Hecate says.
Hecate-What, what was that you are trying to tell me?
Sinistar-I.. ..and serve..you..Hecate!
Hecate-Oh now that's better isn't it?
Sinistar-Nooo, my heart.
Hecate-Oh so sorry dear but not really, I forgot I'm still squeezing the miserable life out of it!
She releases the dark force upon Sinistar's heart and laughs.
Hecate-Hahaha!
She then turns to the rest of her evil minions to order.
Hecate-Go now, you all have your orders!
They all nod and obey by disappearing from Hecate's throne room. Only ones to remain are Bansheeva and the three sister fates along with Kastra and Myndor.
Hecate says with evil glee.
Hecate-Now the fun begins! Hahahaha!
She looks at Myndor and Kastra and says.
Hecate-You two shall remain in my dungeon until I deal with you myself!
Myndor-Why not finish us off now Hecate?
Hecate-Because I want you to suffer, destroying you now has made me think that it is too easy, no, I want you to see what your precious planet will become under my rule before you join the ranks of my evil forces yourselves when you are destroyed!
Kastra-You will be stopped Hecate, you just wait.
Hecate-Hahaha, fools, you bore me now, off you go to my dungeons!
Her eyes flash repeatedly and the power from that causes both Myndor and Kastra to vanish.
Suddenly she hears a very familiar voice floating through the air thunderously.
Aphrodite-Your way of fun is such a cliché, why not let love over take you and stop this evil foolishness?!
Hecate-Aphrodite, you!
A glittering sparkle appears and bursts into several pink hearts that transform into the beautiful Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, she lays in the air on her throne that looks more like a bed of hearts with golden legs on each side of it. Looking more gorgeous than ever, the love goddess has really long blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, luscious looking plump breasts, and she has on her pink and white goddess gown that barely covers her entire body.
Hecate asks as Aphrodite sits up to face her directly.
Hecate-What are you doing here?
Aphrodite-Oh just checking up on you.
Hecate-Checking up on me?
Aphrodite-That's what I said and to remind you your window of opportunity as the mortals call it is slowing closing.
Hecate-I didn't need to be reminded of that!
Aphrodite-Why not? You are going to end up losing in this universe.
Hecate-Not if I play my cards right.
Aphrodite-Still, the fates have decreed your loss so you might as well give up and leave.
Hecate-No!
Aphrodite-Go back to the underworld Hecate, Hades misses you so much!
She scoffs and says.
Hecate-I doubt that!
Bansheeva and the three sister Fates disappear without being noticed.
Aphrodite chuckles and goes on saying with delight.
Aphrodite-Ohhh Hecate you might want to actually listen to me for once and just abandon your little weird looking palace and go back to the underworld where I'm sure everyone there will greet you with open arms.
Hecate-Not until I am finished with the earth! I intend..
Aphrodite interrupts her.
Aphrodite-I know what you intend to do with it and its mortals and as more time goes by I don't think that is such a great idea, I mean what are you trying to prove like you are this big bad goddess? Who cares!
Hecate-I am..Ughh you are trying to frustrate me in my moment of glory!
Aphrodite-I was hoping that when I released the Pink Star Force Ranger from Hexos she would be able to release her friends and throw a wrench in your plans.
Hecate-So it was you!
Aphrodite-Mmm Hmmm but I hadn't counted on her being so weak.
Hecate-Why only her Aphrodite, why not all of the Rangers?
Aphrodite-Well you know I have always been partial to pink, its my favorite color, so is gold and so is white and so the list goes on and on! But she's kind of a drag isn't she?
Hecate-You know she has been weakened.
Aphrodite-Ugh like I said, a drag! Perhaps I should of gave her a boost of power.
Hecate-Tell me if you love pink so much then why did you ignore the other Pink Ranger?
Aphrodite-Oh her, the star storm pinky? Well she's new to all this and I didn't want to use my powers on her.
Hecate-I see.
Aphrodite-Still you don't have a chance here Hecate, even though you resurrected and released all those disgusting beasts you call followers upon the earth!
Hecate-I don't care what you say Aphrodite, I am here to finally give evil what it deserves!
Aphrodite-Oh, a stiff kick in the...
Hecate interrupts her.
Hecate-Enough!
Now extremely angry Hecate points her left arm at Aphrodite, she then opens her hand which causes a powerful dark energy blast to emerge from her hand and head towards Aphrodite but the goddess of love just looks at her gorgeous nails and lets out a yawn of annoyance she then looks at the energy blast and just as soon as its really close to her she blows a powerful glittery kiss on it which ends up transforming it into a beautiful multicolored butterfly. She smiles and looks at Hecate as the butterfly fly's out of the throne room.
Aphrodite-I do love butterflies, they are so much more better than dark energy blasts don't you think? Haha.
Hecate growls and Aphrodite chuckles again then she relays some info.
Aphrodite-Now that we have that tiny unpleasantness turned into pure beauty behind us I must let you know Hephaestus wasn't too happy about your little wolf creature breaking his most sacred chains.
Hecate-So what, he ought to have made them stronger than he did, instead of whining about it.
Aphrodite-You see that is what he thought of, I know when I left he was working on a new set, in fact if I know him he's already finished with the new ones.
Hecate-Well good for him then!
Aphrodite giggles with delight in a way of knowing something no one else knows but will soon be revealed much to the horrid dismay of Hecate.
Suddenly thunderously appearing, a barrage of black chains appear as if they were thrown from the heavens only to find themselves completely surrounding Hecate. She becomes angry.
Hecate-What is the meaning of this?!
Aphrodite-I think that is quite obvious Hecate my dear.
Suddenly Hephaestus' thundering voice can be heard over powering the scene.
Hephaestus-You will never break those chains Hecate, it is time you realize that your evil won't survive in this universe!
Hecate gasps and immediately orders.
Hecate-PERSAKING, WEREMANE HELP ME GET OUT OF THESE CHAINS!
They immediately obey but a huge fireball appears upward and is sent flying down towards the two, Aphrodite says.
Aphrodite-Ooooooo.
The fireball strikes both Persaking and Weremane and they are sent flying through Hecate and her throne simply because Hecate used her powers to phase her body out for a couple of seconds. They both crash into the floor behind Hecate's throne.
Persaking and Weremane-Ughghgh!
Hephaestus is heard laughing.
Hephaestus-That was very amusing, well I'd love to stay but I have more work to do.
Aphrodite-Of course you do, go to it.
Hephaestus-On it!
The god of blacksmiths' voice disappears into the ever powerful winds. But now angry at Persaking and Weremane, Hecate says.
Hecate-Foolish idiots, Weremane, Persaking when I get out of here I'll punish you myself!
She then tries to phase her body out again to remove the very powerful chains but it doesn't work and that only makes her angrier.
Aphrodite-Oh how sad Hecate, your phasing power has no effect on Hephaestus' new powerful chains. Aww I almost feel sorry for you because you see you won't ever be able to remove them, unless.
Hecate-Unless what?!
Aphrodite-Unless you call off your beasts and stop your wave of evil in this universe!
Hecate-Never!
Aphrodite-Now how did I know you were going to say just that, hmm?
Hecate-Why don't you just take off now?
Aphrodite-I'll leave when I want to leave Hecate, I don't need any special hints from you!
Hecate-Why bother me anyway..just to gloat? Well its way to soon for that my dear. My evil will rule supreme regardless of your interference and I will get out of these accursed chains!
Aphrodite-I don't think so Hecate, don't you know love conquers all?
Hecate-Rubbish, that's a foolish sentiment you put in the minds of the mortals that worship you!
Aphrodite-Hahaha, ohhh you are so amusing. But you should already know the spirits of the mortals is very strong, love is merely an emotion that can either drive them to happiness or burn them to pure sadness. Nevertheless love can do many things and that includes eradicating your evil! For if it weren't for love then the mortals wouldn't care enough to save those that are in danger, get it?!
Still struggling to break free Hecate states.
Hecate-Of course I get it, but it still will not thwart my plans Aphrodite, never!
Aphrodite-Believe what you want, as goddesses we have the power to change universes!
Hecate-Exactly what I intend to do.
Aphrodite-Indeed you want to but don't ever think that someone other than myself won't go against you and let love shower the side of good and defeat you and send you back to where you truly belong!
She disappears from Hecate's throne room leaving Hecate still bound by Hephaestus' new chains and her two minions Persaking and Weremane badly and painfully defeated.
Suddenly Aphrodite appears standing right beside the Pink Star Force Power Ranger, the Harpies stop their second impending attack in awe of the Goddess of Love's sudden appearance.
Queen Harpella points her blade at Aphrodite and demands.
Queen Harpella-Who are you?!
Just a tiny bit insulted, Aphrodite responds in a dumbfounded tone.
Aphrodite-Oh come on, you don't recognize me at all?
Queen Harpella-No!
The Pink Star Force Ranger turns to her left side and notices the Goddess but she doesn't say anything for she fears the Harpies will attack her again. Aphrodite says to Harpella.
Aphrodite-Well why should you since you beasts have absolutely no love in your black hearts at all!
Queen Harpella-You...
She is interrupted..
Aphrodite-You know I really should be offended but I'm not. I am actually more annoyed at you pointing that sword at me!
Queen Harpella-Oh really?
She smirks and points it at Aphrodite's face when she makes the remark.
Queen Harpella-Well maybe I should mess up your pretty little face by cutting it with my sword!
Aphrodite-I dare you, beast! But let me warn you, if you do that to me even though I would immediately heal, I swear on all that is good and all that feels the power of love I will burn your evil hideous soul in the white hot light of goodness for all eternity never letting up at all, your soul will dissipate in excruciating agonizing pain only for it to be immediately reformed and burned again!
Queen Harpella gulps in utter fear as she moves her sword away from Aphrodite's face.
Queen Harpella-Are you a..
Aphrodite interrupts her.
Aphrodite-A goddess? Indeed I am, Aphrodite Goddess of Love to be exact.
She turns to the Pink Star Force Power Ranger and says.
Aphrodite-Don't worry Zelda, I am here to help you. You don't have to deal with these hags alone anymore!
Pink Star Force Ranger-I am thankful.
Thinking Hecate's power will protect her and her Harpies, Queen Harpella becomes very confident and smug.
Queen Harpella-It doesn't matter who you are, our goddess Hecate will protect us!
She once again points her sword at Aphrodite which angers the goddess immediately, she ends up grabbing the tip of it and causes it to slightly rumble and a second after, a powerful bright white glow emerges from her body and starts to move onto the sword causing the blade to break apart, Queen Harpella sees this and tries to put the sword down but it won't fall from her hand. Aphrodite says.
Aphrodite-I warned you.
Fear overcomes the Queen as she continuously tries to break away from her crumbling sword.
Queen Harpella-I I can't break away, what are you doing to me?!
Aphrodite-Teaching you a lesson. Like I said I warned you.
She orders her Harpies.
Queen Harpella-Harpies attack! Stop her!
Aphrodite looks at them and asks.
Aphrodite-Are you all just as dumb as your doomed Queen, hmm?
They back down for a second but they want to try to help their Queen so they charge at Aphrodite screechings readying to be delivered, the goddess shakes her head and says.
Aphrodite-Oh my I guess you all are just as dumb, oh well, bye bye!
She raises her left arm and almost instantly a barrage of very powerful pink, white and golden lightning bolts appear and strike the entire Harpie army destroying them all, nothing is left except agonizing screechings that fade away into the cosmic wind.
By the time the attack is over, the power affecting Queen Harpella has destroyed her sword completely and has made its way onto her body where she begins to feel the white hot burning tear into her body and begin to tear it apart from the inside. Soon the power completely eradicates the Queen as she yells out.
Queen Harpella-MY GODDESS HECATE!
Aphrodite-Now that was awesome, she is so gonna burn in my light of love and happiness.
She giggles, then she looks at the Pink Ranger.
Aphrodite-Alright, let's go save your friends.
Pink Star Force Ranger-I can't thank you enough Aphrodite.
Aphrodite-Believe me Zelda, it is the very least I could do.
She holds out both of her hands and says.
Aphrodite-Take my hands and we shall go into this enormous rock.
The Pink Star Force Ranger takes both of Aphrodite's hands and so the goddess of love begins to glow a mighty glow then her power overcomes the Pink Star Force Ranger causing them both to vanish instantly.
About a second later the two find themselves deep within Hexos. They let go of each others hands, the Pink Star Force Ranger looks around and asks.
Pink Star Force Ranger-Where do we start to look?
Aphrodite-Don't worry about that.
She turns around and raises her right hand, then with it risen a sphere of a white hot light is formed and sent towards the massive powerful wall that when struck by the power the wall crumbles and completely breaks apart therefore revealing all of the Star Force Power Rangers, the Star Storm Power Rangers all in their Ranger suits and the three Goddesses of the Eternal Shine Queen Phera, Lyn Diana and Cryska along with the God Azmodeus all frozen in ice and stone.
The Pink Star Force Ranger rushes to them and exclaims when she sees them.
Pink Star Force Ranger-They are frozen.
Aphrodite-Not for long my dear. Stand back.
She stands back and watches as Aphrodite raises both of her arms and says.
Aphrodite-Through the power of love and the power of happiness and all that you fight for through the power of good…
Suddenly a wave of pure power emerges from Aphrodite's body and begins to move as she continues.
Aphrodite-I Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty and all good that you stand for hereby release you from your prisons!
She pushes both of her arms forward and the immense wave of power overcomes all of the frozen statutes and quickly destroys the stone and ice that was holding them all. They all fall to their knees. The Pink Star Force Ranger runs to her best friend.
Pink Star Force Ranger-Nakia, are you ok?
She looks at everyone and asks.
Pink Star Force Ranger-Are you all ok?
Nakia answers first.
Yellow Star Force Ranger-I'm ok, I think.. I have to stay down for a bit because I'm feeling dizzy.
White Star Force Ranger-I'm ok but I'm feeling blah too.
Red Star Force Ranger-Me too.
Red Storm Ranger-We're free.. Finally free.
Blue Storm Ranger-Are we alive?
Aphrodite-You are very much alive, you're just weakened that's all but that can easily be taken care of as well.
Before anyone has a chance to ask who Aphrodite is, Lyn Diana looks up at her and asks.
Lyn Diana-Aphrodite, you freed us?
Aphrodite-Yes, I did.
Queen Phera-Thank you.
Cryska-Yes Thank you, I thought we would never get out.
Azmodeus-Hecate's power is most supreme.
Aphrodite-Oh don't worry about her, she isn't going to be doing too much of anything right now.
Lyn Diana-You stopped her?
Aphrodite-Yes.
Cryska-Does that mean she is gone?
Aphrodite-No, not yet, you see she has been stopped but for how long I don't really know to be honest about it.
Queen Phera-Then we are still in danger.
Aphrodite-Right now the Power Rangers are desperately needed back on earth to deal with those hideous beasts she released to enslave the planet's inhabitants. But don't worry everyone, with the power of love I will take care of you all.
She raises her hands and suddenly a blinding white light flashes and when it has disappeared so has everyone else in Hexos.
